Sponsorship: - For A DrumKit for Soft Drum-Exchanges !

Hi Bros & Sis:-

I think it's the right time now to bring this up - It is good for us to get some Contribution & Sponsorship into Acquiring - "A 5pcs Basic Drum Kit" that is to be placed permanently at our Regular Venue = "Ulu Pandan CC - Symphonic Orchestra Room" since they have given us the permission to put a Kit there for our SOFT DRUM EXCHANGE ... The Committee there wish too that we will make the Venue as our - - So-call Soft Drummer's Physical ClubHouse...which I think is good - as it can house more drummers as our community grows....and it's good to have to Drum Set at our Meetup all the time - be it for sharing or for Fun, or for DRUM BATTLE..preparing for next year DrumFest2008.

As regards to the Drum-Kit - It doesn't matter whether we are acquiring a BRAND NEW KIT or RESALE KIT - much depends on the overall $$$$$$$$ collected here. I hope many of you here will assist in a way - By Contributing some donation here or helping us in any way to get SPONSORSHIP in terms of $$$. The decision as to what Kit to get will rest on the Majority here at end of day (those contributing the Cash).

Criteria for purchasing of the Kit
Value For Money
Have To Be An Averagly Good Sounding Kit
In Good Nice Condition
Brand is not a matter - Brand must be compare in relation to it's Range
Colour - no big deal - but will be good to match our Logo

Also - We will be doing a SOFT BANNER stating "Soft Drummers Exchange" to be hung-up at our Venue permanently (that's our Club House now).....The Bass Drum Logo - we will get someone to do it - to be placed at the RESO - with the word "Soft Drum Exchange & it's Logo" -

All those helping - Kindly put in your Name, Sponsor's Company/Person/Friend or Name (refering to yrself) , Amount and Tel number (so we can call you when we are collecting the money) when we are ready - to purchase the Kit..

PS; - The Drum Kit does not belongs to a Single Person - It belongs in TRUST to "ALL SOFT DRUMMERS COMING TO THE EXCHANGE" - Don't worry - WE WILL NOT DISBAND THIS COMMUNITY & COMMITTEE...It will be here for good for a long long time............But should there be a disbandment due to whatever circumstances- The Kit will goes back to SOFT here ----until such time - a committee is setup once again at anytime by anyone here representing SOFT DRUM-EXCHANGE.

All this is for the benefits of all coming to our monthly drum exchange and partly in building a mark into enhancing our very own Corporate Soft Drum Exchange that through involvement - it's members here will help build a more prominent and nicer home that houses all our Drummers here in Singapore as one big family ( hopefully oneday we can altogether be a fairly big fish in a large pond here) where we can gather at least once a month and share drumming altogether...

Contribution/Sponsorship here is up to individual (not compulsory of course) but...It's The Thoughts That Counts Most Here - To Share Our Passion )...thank you. Any Amount That Is Deem Comfortable To Oneself Will Do...

RD... It is good to PM you the pledges and you update all the latest figures ... :idea: it should be kept confidential when it comes to personal contribution... this is to prevent comparison who gave more or less... we are still humans... :idea:

 

[RudimentalDrummer]

No Bro - Individual cannot PM me the $$$ contributed here and let it remain as confidential - it has to be very opened - or else who could account for how much $$$$ is being actually collected since I'm the only one who knows..it's not right = It is in Trust which means everyone has to know the value collected and contributed....In Trust also means (in the code of law) it does not belongs to anyone but - The Drum Exchange Committee representin all the members within Soft Drum Exchange here......Because Soft is a non-profit organisation....yes it's call Revenue collected here.

Though this is also a one-off (not purchase but expenses use on a kit - non profit uses terms like these to be correct) it posted this way. assuming now - if there are membership fees (though non-profit) - any revenue use has to be sign by 3 person at least before money can be use on any expenses(because it's in trust - the money doesnt belongs to the commitee - just trusted to us to acquire something for it's members)...I've done this for a couple of non-Profit Organisation in Singapore so I know....it's a very very sensitive issue cause we are handling other people donations...and thus the need to be open to everyone...anyone as long as a member has the right to question and open up the account = so it's better and might as well open it up here from the start

Also - it's good to be open here - as I've mentioned...It's the thoughts that counts...not how big the value contributed by anyone, just as per his/her situation permits...I hope you & everyone can kindly understand me here.

[marcdadrummer]

im still a student and don't get much money day by day but can i contribute by scouting for good 2nd hand kits/cymbals???

anyways i found a good deal for a alchemy ride for 180 either a 22" or 23".

 

[plainsman]

marcdadrummer, no problem 8)

thank you james too from bottom of heart (next time i buy u drink till bottom of mug :lol: )

i was thinking DH's suggestion is good, but then yes eric has a point: as soft drummers we're working towards a non-profit group founded on trust, being open will help keep us above board especially accounting etc.

as eric mentioned also, bros you musn't feel obligated to give.

Give only when you can and the amount that you feel comfortable ok?


for those working adults sometimes support family or other financial commitments so understand and no worries, give only when you can.

for students, pocket money limited also. but, if you really want to contributed even if you give $5, $10 etc. we all heart you.. its the thought that counts!!!


if we eventually collect $359 or $559 etc. we just do the best and get the best drumset possible ie. 1st or 2nd hand for the money we have managed to scrape together.

Am proud of each and every one of you anyhow, let's keep going and keep the flame burning!!! \m/


cheers

[shred5]

Can I "donate" my cymbals that I seldom use to the venue?

A Sabian 20 HH" Medium Ride,
Paiste 11" Innovation Splash,

If its ok with U guys...

 

[RudimentalDrummer]

First of all, thank you all for the support & understanding on this initiative - Bro Plainsman, James(Soft) . and everyone here.

Bro Marc - NO worries, you're a great brother I know.....Donation/Contribution here is not compulsory and no members need to clarify to anyone as he/she is not obligated at all in a sense...We all understand being Brothers/Sister Of Soft Drummer's Exchange- but the fact that you stood out to give an explaination here was admirable (to me) - Thank you my dear bro, but it is really not necessary here - - - This goes to all our Brotherts & Sisters here in Soft.....

Thank you Bro shred5 – Of course you can donate the:- Sabian 20 HH" Medium Ride, & the Paiste 11" Innovation Splash – that would be great. I thank you on behalf os SOFT Drummer’s Exchange and we really appreciate it very much…….Donated only when you don’t use it – because har – Give already (remains the property of Soft Drum Exchange) cannot take back one – don’t regret lor?…Kekekekeke.

That’s the also reason why – I did not wanted Blissuicide to put his C.Snare there (What happens if it’s loss – problem) though we will pursue any of our loss-item at the Venue (because our guys will never go there alone – only during meetup)….but there will be other groups and their own Orchestra members there…Better Be Safe Than Be Sorry – This is the main reason.

DONATION AMOUNT – It is really not how much one contributed and as I’ve mentioned it’s not compulsory here – just that if one wants to donate – any amount comfortable to themselves will do – I know MEMBERS OF OUR DRUM EXCHANGE had already contributed in many ways (be it small or big) all the time…..no worries…cheers !

SPONSORSHIP: - LATEST INFORMATION: - Right now one of our Brothers here (one of our Committee Members) is trying very hard to help here by getting Sponsorship from a few Drum’s Distributor (We spoke) – and I appreciated his initiative & great effort here on behalf of us all …He is none other than our Value-Bro Drum Hobbyist…but we all know it’s tough for him nor anyone to take this approached ……Let’s Wish Him Best Of Luck my Bros here, he is a great brother – If our Bro can get the Sponsorship for a Kit (it’s really a bonus to us all here) – Then we don’t need any Contribution here to buy a Kit for the Exchange – if not (don’t rest too high hopes on this it depends on the Distributor) – then, Let’s just let this initiative of getting donation continue till we all get sufficient funds – to fund our own Kit for our Very OwnSoft Drummer’s Monthly Exchange.

Cheers !
